Hippolyte's officers had entered Port-au-Prince and taken possession of the town. The victorious warrior, however, Mr. Williams said, was not popular with the people generally, and could probably never be President of the black republic by the vote o! the inhabitants. A man named Marriann, Legitime's Minister of Foreign Affairs, or an ex-President of the republic, whose name Mr. Williams could not recall, would doubtless appear as the next candidate for the presidency of Hayti.

THREE CASES OF LEPROSY-

Dr. Smith was instructed to make an investigation. HiB report, whicb. has just reached the the department, shows that there are three distinct cases of leprosy on the Island—two women and one min. The disease has made terrible ravages on the man, and Dr. Smith reports him te be a most repulsive looking object.

The three lepers have been in daily contact with their friends, and Dr, Smith has been instructed to keep a careful watch to see if the disease manifests itself upon any of them, so that precautions may be"taken.

The three lepers will be removed to Tracadi without delay and placed in charge of the Heroic Sisters of Charity there.

Bands.

&

Rev. Dr. Talmage preached at Brooklyn last Sunday. Subject: "People Who Have Lost Their Way." Text: Genesis xxi., 9. He said:

I learn from this Oriental scene, in the first place, what a sad thing it is when people do not know their place, and get too proud for their business. Hagar was an assistant in that household, but she wanted to rule there. She ridiculed and jeered until her son Xshmael got the same tricks. She dashed out her own happiness and threw Sarah into a great fret and if she had stayed much longer in that household she would have upset calm Abraham's equilibrium. My friends, one half of the trouble in the world to-day comes from the fact that people do not know their place, or finding their place would not stay in it. When we come into the world there is always a place ready for us. A place for Abraham. A place for Sarah. A place for Hagar. A place for Ishmael. A place for you and a place ior me. Our first duty is to find our sphere our second is to keep it. We may be born in a sphere far off from the one for which God finally intends us. Sextus Y. was born on the low ground, and was a swine herder God called him up to wave a scepter. Ferguson spent his early days in looking after tne sheep God called him up to look after stars, and be a shepherd watching the flocks of light on tne hillsides of heaven. Hogarth by engraving pewter pots God raised him to stand in the enchanted realm of a painter. The shoemaker's bench held bioomfield for a little while, but God called him to sit in the chair of a philosopher and a Christian scholar. The soap boiler of London could not keep his son in that business, for God had decided that Hawley was to be one of the greatest astronomers of England. On the other hand, we may be born in a sphere a little higher that for which God intends us. We may be born in a castle, and play in a costly conservatory, and feed high bred pointers, and angle for gold fish in artificial ponds, and be familiar with Princes yet God may have fitted us for a carpenter's shop, or a dentist's forceps, or a weaver's shuttle, or a blacksmith's forge. The great thing is to find just the the sphere for wnich God intended us, and then to occupy that sphere, and occupy it forever. Here is a man God fashioned to make a plow. There is a man God fashioned to make a constitution. The man who makes the plow is just as honorable as the man who makes the constitution, provided he makes the plow as good as the other man makes the constitution. There is a woman who was made to fashion a robe, and yonder is one intended to be a Queen and wear it. It seems to me that in the one ca3e as in the other, God appoints the sphere and the needle is just as respectable in His sight as the scepter. I do not know but that the worid would long ago have been saved in some of the men out of the ministry were in it, and some of those who are in it were out of it. I really think that one-half of the world may be divided into two-quarters—those who have not found their sphere, and those who, having found it, are not willing to stay there. How many are struggling for a position a little higher than that for which God intended them. The bondswoman wants to be mistress. Hagar keeps crowding Sarah. The small wheel of a watch, which beautifully went treading its golden pathway, wants to be the balance wheel, and the sparrow, with chagrin, droops into the brook, because it cannot, like the eagle, cut a circle under the sun. In the Lord's army we all want to be brigadiergenerals.

The sloop says: "More mast, more tonnage, more canvas. O, that I were a topsail schooner, or a full-rigged, or a Cunard steamer." And so the world is filled, with cries of discontent, because we are not willing to stay in the place where God put us and intended us to be. My friends, be not too proud to do any thing God tells you to do. For the lack of a right disposition in this respect the world is btrewn with wandering Hagars and ishmaels. God has given each one of us a work to do. You carry a scuttle of coal up that dark alley. You distribute that Christian tract. You give $10,000 to the missionary cause. You, for fifteen years, sit with chronic rheumatism, displaying tbe beauty of Christian submission. Whatever God calls you to, whether it win hissing or huzza whether to walk under triumphal aich or lift the sot out of the ditch whether it be to preach on a Pentecost, or to tell some wanderer of the street on the mercy of the Christ of Marv Magdaiene whether it be to weave a garland for a laughing child on a spring morning and call her a May Queen, or to comb out tangled locks of a waif of the street and cut up one of your old dresses to fit her out for the sanctuary—do it, and do it right away. Whether it be a crown or a yoke, do not fidget. Everlasting honors upon those who do their work, and to their whole work, and are contented in the sphere in which God has put them, while there is only wandering, and exile, and desolation and wilderness, for discontented Hagar and Ishmael.

Again: I find in this Oriental scene a fcsson of sympathy with woman when 'he goes forth trudging in the desert. What a great change it was for this Hagar. There was the tent and all the the surroundings oi Abraham's house, beautiful and luxurious no doubt. Now she is going out into the hot sands of the desert. O, what a change it was! And in our day we often see the wheel of fortune turn. Here is some one who lived in the very bright home of her father. She had every thing possible to administer to her happiness. Plenty at the table. Music in the drawingroom. Welcome at the door. She is led forth into lile by some one who can not appreciate her.

A dissipated soul comes and takes her out in the desert. Iniquities blot out all the lights of that home circle. Harsh words wear out her spirits. The high hopes that shone out over the marriage altar while the ring was being set and the

TOWS

given and the benediction pro­

nounced nave all faded with the orange blossoms, and there she is to-day, broken hearted, thinking of past ioy

and present desolation and coming anguish. Hagar in the wilderness! Here is a beautiful Dome. You can nbt think of any thing that can be added to it. For years there has not been the suggestion of a single trouble. Bright and happy children fill the house with laughter and song. Books to read pictures to look at lounges to rest on cup of domestic joy full and running over dark night drops pillow hot, pulses flutter eyes close. And the foot whose well-known steps on the door-sill brought the whole household out at eventide, crying, "Father's coming," will never sound on the door-sill again. A long, deep grief plowed through all that lightness of domestic life. Paradise lost! Widowhood! Hagar in the wilderness! How often it is we see the weak arm of woman conscripted for this battle with the rough world. Why is she going down the street in the early light of the morning, pale with exhausting work, not half slept out with the slumbers of last night,tragedies of suffering written all over her face, her lusterless eyes looking far ahead as though for the coining of some other trouble? Her parents called her Mary, or Bertha, or Agnes on the day when they held her UP to the font, and the Christian minister sprinkled on the infant's face the washings of a holy baptism. Her name ischanged|now. I hear it in shufflejof the worn-out shoes. I see it in the figure of the faded calico. I find it in the lineaments of the woebegone countenance. Not Mary, nor Bertha, nor Agnes, but Hagar in the wilderness. May God have mercy upon woman in her toils, her struggles, her hardships, her desolation, and may the great heart of Divine sympathy inclose her forever.

Again: I find in this Oriental scene the fact that eveiy mother leads forth tremendous destinies.

You say: "That isn't an unusual scene, a mother leading her child by the hand." Who is it that she is leading? Ishmael, you say. Who is Ishmael? A great nation is to be founded a nation so strong that it is to stand for thousands of years against all the armies of the world. Egypt and Asyria thunder against it but in vain. Gaulus brings up his army,and his army is smitten. Alexander decides upon a campaign, brings up his hosts and dies. For along while that nation monopolizes the learning of the world* It is the nation of the Arabs. Who founded it? Ishmael, the lad that Hagar led into the wilderness. She had no idea she was leading forth such destinies. Neither does any mother. You pass along the street, and see boys and girls who will yet make the earth quake with their influence. Who is that boy at Sutton Pool, Piymoutn, England, barefooted, wading down into the slush and slime, until his bare foot comes upon a piece of glass, and he holds ft, bleeding and painstruck? That wound in tlie foot decides that he be sedentary in his life, decides that he be a student. That wound by the glass in the foot decides that he shall be John Kitto, who shall provide the best religious encyclopedia the world has ever had provided, and, with his other writings as well, throwing a light upon the word of God such as has come from no other man in this century. Oh mother, mother, that little hand that wanders over your face may yet be lifted to hurl thunderbolts of war or drop benedictions. That little voice may blaspheme God in the grog shop, or cry "Forward!" to the Lord's hosts, as they go out for their last victory. My mind to-day leaps t'cfcSy years ahead,'and I see a merchant prince of New York. One stroke of his pen brings a ship out of Canton. Another stroke of his pen brings a ship into Madras. He is mighty in all the money markets of the world.' Who is he? He sitf to-day beside you in the Tabernacle. My mind leaps thirty years forward from this time, and I find myself in a relief association. A great multitude of Christian women have met together for a generous purpose. There is one woman in that crowd who seems to have the confidence of all the others, and they all look up to her for her counsel and for her prayers. Who is she? To-day you will find her in the Sabbath school, while the teacher tells her pi that Christ who clothed the naked and fed the hungry and healed the sick. My mind leaps forward thirty years from now, and I find myself in an African jungle and there is a missionary of the cross addressing the natives, and their dusky countenances are irradiated with the glad tidings of great joy and salvation.

Who is he? Did you not hear bis voice to-day in the first song of the service? My mind leaps forward thirty years from now, and I find myself looking through the wickets of a prison. I see a face scarred with every crime. His chin on his open palm, his elbow on his knee—a picture of despair. As I open the wicket he starts, and I hear his chain clank. The jail keeper tells me that he has been in there now three times. First for theft, then for arson, now for murder. He steps upon the trap door, the rope is fastened to his neck, the plank falls, his body swings into the air, his soul swings off into eternity. Who is he, and where is he? To-day playing kite on the city commons. Mother, you are to-day hoisting a throne or forging a chain—you are kindling a star or digging a dungeon. 1 learn one more lesson from this Oriental scene, and that is that every wilderness has a well in it. Hagar and Ishmael gave up to die. Hagar's heart sank within her as she heard her child crying: "Water! water! water!" "Ah," she says, "my darling, there is no water. This is a desert." And then God's Angel said from the cloud: "What aileth thee, Hagar?" And she looked up and saw him pointing to a well of water where she filled the bottle for the lad. Blessed be God that there is in every wilderness a well, if you only know how to find it—fountains for all these thirsty souls to-day. On that last day, on that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried: "If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink." All these other fountains you find are mere mirages of the desert. Paracelsus, you know, spent his time in trying to find out the elixir of life—a liquid which, if taken, would keep one perpetually young in this world, and would change the aged back again to youth. Of course, he was disappointed he found not the elixir. But here I tell yon to-day of the elixir of everlasting life bursting from the "Rock of Ages." And that drinking that water you shall never get old, and you never will be sick, and you will never die. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters." Ah, here is a man who says: "l have been looking for that fountain a great while, but can't fijnd it." And heie is kme oaoelse who says: "I betf6ve all

you say, but I have been trudging along in the wilderness and can't Aid the fountain." Do you know tbe reason? I will tell you. You never looked in the right direction. "Ob," you say, "I have looked everywhere. 1 have looked north, south, east and weet, and I haven't found the fountain." Why, you are not looking in the right direction at all. Look up, where Hag?r looked. She never would have found the fountain at all, but when she heard the voice of the angel she looked up,and Bhe saw the finger pointing to the supply. And, oh soul, if to-day, with one earnest, intense prajrer, if you would only look up to Christ he would point you down to the supply in the wilderness. "Look unto me all ye ends of the earth and be ye saved, for I am God, and there is none else." Look! look! as Hagar looked. Yes, there is a well for every desert of bereavement. Looking over the audience to-day I notice signs of mouinine. Have you found consolation? Oh, man bereft! oh, woman bereft!,, have you found consolation? Hearse after hearse. We step from one grave hillock to another grave hillock. We follow corpse?, ourselves soon to be like them. The world is in mourning for its dead. Every heart has become the sepulcher of some buried joy. But sing ye to God! Every wilderness has a well*in it, and I come to that well to-day and I begin to draw water from that well. If you have lived in the country you have sometimes taken hold of the rope of the old well sweep, and you know now the bucket came up dripping with the bright, cool water. Ana I lay hoi of the rope of God's mercy to-day, and I begin to draw on that Gospel well "sweep, and see the buckets coming up. Thirsty soul, here is one bucket of life come and drink of it: "Whosoever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely." I pull away again at the rope, and another bucket comes up. It is this promise: "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." I lay hold of the rope again, and I pull away with all my strength, and the bucket comes up bright, and beautiful, and cool. Here is the promise: "Come unto Me all yc who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest."

The old astrologers* used to cheat the people with the idea that they could tell from the position of the stars what would occur in the future, and if a cluster of stars stood in one relation that would be a prophecy of evil if a cluster of stars stood in another relation that would be a prophecy of good. What superstition! But here is anew astrology in which I put all my faith. By looking up to the Star of Jacob, the morning star of the Redeemer, I can make this prophecy in regard to those who put their trust in God: "All things work together for good to those who love God." I read it out on the sky. I read it out in the Bible. I read it out in all things: "All things work together for good to those who love God." Do you love Him? nave you seen the Nyetanthes? It is a beautiful flower, but it gives very little fragrance until after sunset. Then it pours its richness on the air. And this grace of the Gospel that I commend to you this day, while it may be very sweet during the day of prosperity, it pours forth its richest aroma after sun down, and it will be sun down with you and me aiter while. When you come to go out this world, will it be a desert march will it be a fountain for your soul.

Oh! come to-day to the fountain—the fountain open for sin and uncleanness. I will tell you the whole story in two or three eentences. Pardon for all sin. Comfort for all trouble. Light for all darkness. And every wilderness has a well in it.

PROHIBITION DEFEATED.

Pennsylvania Gives a Large Majority Against It.

Th« people of Pennsylvania, Tuesday, voted on a proposed Constitutional Prohibition amendment and it was defeated by a very large majority. A Pittsburg special saye: Returns received include every county in the State, and are as follows: For the Prohibition amendment, 54,517 against the Prohibition amendment, 189.710. Majority against the amendment, 135,193. A.'legheney county gave a majority of 25,000 against it. The streets were filled all day with amused crowds, waiting for the brass* bands of the antis and the infantile glee dabs of tbe Prohibitionists. As each would appear, the crowds greeted them with cheers, and it made iittle difference on which side the people were. Every one seemed to be in a good humor, and the election was freer from fights than any election ever before known. The wagons containing the brass bands of the antis were followed by those containing the glee clubs of the opposition, and each alternately fliled the air with muBic. The bands and glee clubs marched all over the two cities, and at many of the polling places groups of women were busy ttying to induce voters to take their tickets. Two or three cases of sickness among the children and women resulted from the exposure to the rays of the 6un, and while there was a good breeze in the lower city the day was very oppressive and hot. At many polls «h» Prohibitionists had refreshment stands and served lunches and sott drinks to all voters. Both sides were at work early and kept it up all day. There were no disturbances, and everything passed off as pleasantly as a summer day. There was not the feeling between the two parties that would naturally be anticipated under such circumstances. Each seemed willing to give a point to the other, and harmony resigned supreme. The one feature ot the dav was the remarkably large so-called "vest-pocket v.t whicb came to the polls witn his ticket in his pocket, and evidently had long before decided on which side he would cast his ballot. There was not the usual "button-hol-ing" that is characteristic of an election, and people were permitted to go to and from the p«lis without any molestation. A Philadelphia dispatch fays: There was a notable abeence of women from the polls, and the distribution of ice water and sandwiches was not so proluse aB had been anticipated. In some portions of the city the prohibition folks utilized Sunday-school children to distribute cold water tickets. A number of polls were manned by ministers. The State also voted to day on the proposed amendment for the abolition of the poll tax. In this city there was very little opposition to this amendmitt.

The New Hampshire Legislature, Tuesday,elected W. E. Chandler United fctttes SenAtov.

THE CRONIN MURDER.

Mr. Sullivan Wednesday filed a petition for release on habeas corpus on the ground that the evidence before the coroner's jury on which the verdict was rendered is insufficient to justify tbe commitment. So far as it reflected on Sullivan it was the result of prejudice and passion. The judge took the petition under advisement. Mr. Sullivan declares that lie is innocent.

A special Grand Jury to deal with the Cronin case was impaneled this morning in Judge Shepard's Court. In addressing the jurv, Judge Shepbard said that he expected a full, exhaustive, impartial investigation of the murder of Dr. Cronin. The entire resources of the county, he said, would be at the disposal of the jury and witnesses who would not testily should be made to do so. The Grand Jury had in its posession the power to make them do so.

Alexander Sullivan, was released on $20,000 bail. Michael Davitt thinks Sullivan is the victim of personal spite.

Alexander Sullivan's friends are jubilant over Judge Tuley's decision in the habeas corpus case, and declare that they are in for a fight.

Woodruff, the horse thief, made anew confession of his knowledge of and participation in the Cronin murder Sunday. He was seen in the afternoon, after the publication of his yarn, and could not teil it again. He is preparing still another confession. His story is an interesting one. He implicaces Alexander Sullivan, Coughlin and MeDougal. He says he was a member of the Canadian militia at the time of the Fenian raid. Little dependence ie placed upon anything Woodruff says, and his confessions have iittle credence. Marouey and McDonald the two suspects arrested in New York were discharged Monday, their being no eviidenoe to hoid them.

Martin Burke has been arrested at Winnipeg as an accomplice in the Cronin murder. The police pretend to believe they have important evidence against Burke, principally that "Burke was frequently heard to say that Cronin ought to be removed." The sensational incident of the Cronin Grand Jury Tuesday morning was the refusal of Win. E. Bell, of the Western Union Telegraph Company, to obey au order of the jury to produce messages passing between Alexander Sullivan, Dan Coughlin, P. O'Sullivan, John J. Maroney and G. W. Mellville. Mr. Bell maintained that it was against the rules of the company to produce such messages and that the statutes of the State of Illinois imposed a line of $5,000 upon a telegraph company for disclosing the contents of any peisonal or business messages passing over its lines. After all attempts to induce the witness to obey had failed, the jury, headed by State's Attorney Longenecker, repaired to Judge Shephard's room and appealed to his Honor to issue an order directing the witness to answer under pain of contempt and commitment. The Judge fully sustained the State's attorney, and an order was spread upon the record airecting the witness, under pain of contempt and commitment to jail, to produce any and all messages, cablegrams or copies thereof in the Chicago office, passing between Alexlander Sullivan, Dan Coughlin, P. O'Sullivan, John J. Maroney, G. W. Me ville and Chas. McDonald either under their true names or any alias, or between either of these men and any other person since first of March last. The witness then complied.

THE WILY RED MAN

Sitting Bull is Recoveiing ana Has 'S inetliiiij to .Say.

A dispatch from Bismarck, Dak., saye: Couriers who arrived, Sunday, from Standing Rock report Sitting Bull, the notorious Sioux Chief as alive and slowly growing stronger.

In an interview with regard to the proposed opening of the reservation for settlement, ne said he had never signed a treaty and never would. He is as bitterly opposed to the opening of the reservation now as he was a year ago. When told cf the number of Indians at the lower agencies who were signing he would not believe it. He said he had Indians at the Lower Conference who reported to him, and he knew that no such number as reported had signed.

He is cunning and suspicious and thinks the Commissioners are giving out the reports to influence tbe Indians at the Upper Agency. There is every reason to believe that the Commissioners wiLl succeed in opening the reservation but they must do it without the aid or consent of Sitting Bull and his friends. When a*ked if he thought he would die, Sitting Bull said at lirst he felt that he must go as the trouble was with his heart, which felt as if he had been shot. He now has seme hope of recovery.

The Indians at Standing Itock have chosen the orators to represent them at the coming conference, but Sitting Bull is none of the chosen. Those elected are Gall, John Grass, Mad Bear, Eig Head and Eajjle That Scares.

It is believed Governor Foraker will be renominated by the Ohio Republicans.
